💗 THE SURGEON'S CONFESSION

“I Was the Surgeon Behind Some of the Most Famous Chests in the World.” Here’s What I Never Told Them in the Consult.

Every woman asked for the same thing. It was never a size. It was fullness. So what would I tell her to try before she books the surgery?

Main illustration accompanying the surgeon's confession article

Maybe you’ve sat in that chair. Maybe you’ve priced out a consult at 1am and closed the tab. Or you stuff a bra, skip fitted tops and cross your arms in photos.

I sat across from women like you for 20 years. Some of them you would know by name. I’m not going to say who, because that’s not the point.

The point is what they asked me for, and what I wrote on the quote. Here it is in plain words. It starts in the consult room.

PART 1 OF 4 · THE CONSULT

Every Woman in the Chair Asked for the Same Thing.

I would ask what she wanted. It was never big. It was never a size. It was fullness.

In her own words, she wanted to:

  1. 1

    Fill out the top of a dress

  2. 2

    Stop the bra from gapping

  3. 3

    Feel like a woman in her own body

And I would nod and write up a quote. Here is what it said.

THE QUOTE I WROTE · FOR EVERY WOMAN

THE FEE

About $4,875

The surgeon's fee alone. The operating room and anesthesia cost extra.

THE RECOVERY

4 to 6 weeks

Sleep on your back. No heavy lifting. Not your groceries. Not your kids.

THE SCAR

Yours for life

A cut about 2 inches long, in the fold under the breast.

THE FINE PRINT

Not for life

The FDA says implants are not lifetime devices. About 1 in 5 women who get them for looks need them out within 8 to 10 years.

About 300,000 women in America get implants every year. Sources: ASPS, FDA, Kaiser Permanente.

That was my job for 20 years. And every time, I knew there was something else I could have told her. A surgeon who says it doesn’t stay a surgeon for long.

“Every time, I felt bad taking their money.”

Mitchell Sorin, former plastic surgeon

PART 3 OF 4 · THE HERB

The Herb Nurses Hand to New Moms.

It’s called fenugreek. It’s a small seed, and you may have eaten it in curry. People have used it for about 2,000 years. Today, many nurses and lactation consultants suggest it to new moms for milk supply.

Does it work for milk? The U.S. National Institutes of Health says the studies are mixed. Some found more milk. Some found no change.

So why would a woman who isn’t nursing take it?

Because of what’s inside the seed. Fenugreek has plant compounds, like diosgenin, that act a little like estrogen in lab tests. Estrogen is one of the hormones your milk glands respond to.

  1. 1

    The seed

    The same fenugreek that’s in milk-supply teas.

  2. 2

    Plant compounds

    They act a little like estrogen in lab tests.

  3. 3

    Your own estrogen

    It went up in three studies of women. Here they are.

WHAT '10:1 EXTRACT' MEANS

Seed powder is just ground seed. A 10:1 extract starts with about 10 parts seed for every 1 part of extract, and each serving holds more of the plant compounds. And it’s a seed, not a hormone. No hormone is added.

PART 4 OF 4 · THE STUDIES

In Studies, Fenugreek Raised the Hormone That Grew Your Breasts.

Estrogen is the main hormone that grew your breasts in puberty. In three small studies, women took a fenugreek seed extract or a dummy pill, without knowing which. Here’s what happened to their estrogen.

IN WOMEN · FENUGREEK VS. A DUMMY PILL

8 weeks

80 WOMEN, AGES 20 TO 49

Estrogen went up more than with the dummy pill.

Rao et al., Phytotherapy Research, 2015

6 weeks

48 WOMEN, AGES 20 TO 48

Estrogen rose about 21% on average, more than with the dummy pill.

Khanna et al., Clinical Phytoscience, 2021

90 days

88 WOMEN AFTER MENOPAUSE

Estrogen went up, even after menopause.

Begum et al., Phytotherapy Research, 2016

IN THE LAB · A COMPOUND FOUND IN FENUGREEK

15 days

LAB MICE · INJECTED, NOT A CAPSULE

Diosgenin grew new milk ducts in mice that made almost no estrogen of their own.

Aradhana et al., Indian Journal of Experimental Biology, 1992

PAID PARTNERS · IN THEIR OWN WORDS

Women With Big Audiences Tried It. Here’s What They Said.

These women are paid partners of Celestials. They tried it first, then told us what happened, in their own words.

“I had a consult booked and kept pushing it back. Then I tried this first. By week 4 my bras fit differently, so I kept going.”

“I’ve worn padded bras and push-ups for years, so I was skeptical. At week 6 I noticed a difference in how my tops fit. It’s easy to take with food, so I never skipped.”

“I wore loose tops to hide for years. At week 8 I put on a fitted dress for the first time in a long time. I’m still taking it.”

QUESTIONS WOMEN ASK US

Straight answers.

Is fenugreek a hormone?

No. It’s a seed, in the same plant family as peas and beans. It has plant compounds that act a little like estrogen in lab tests. No hormone is added.

How do I take it?

3 servings a day with food. On the Buy 3, Get 3 Free plan, it’s 6 servings a day.

How long until I know if I like it?

Some women say their bras fit differently in 2 to 4 weeks. The studies checked women at 6 weeks, 8 weeks and 90 days. Take it every day so you give it a fair try.

Is it safe?

Most people take fenugreek without problems. The most common side effects are an upset stomach and a maple-syrup smell in sweat. Don’t take it if you’re pregnant or trying. Ask your doctor first if you’ve had breast cancer or another hormone-sensitive condition, take diabetes medicine or a blood thinner, are breastfeeding, or are allergic to peanuts or chickpeas.

What if I’m not happy with it?

Contact us within 30 days and we’ll give you your money back.

WHAT I NEVER SAID

WHAT IT IS

The herb nurses hand to new moms for milk.

WHAT STUDIES SHOW

It raised women’s estrogen in three small studies.
